    To my favorite teacher

    Dear Mrs. Shuster:
    Even though it’s been close to 13 years since I left the halls of Lakeview High School, but you are still my favorite teacher of all-time in my academic career. When I was just eight years old, you introduced me to The Rich Center at Youngstown State.

    When I was 10, I was moved to your classroom and enjoyed every minute of it. Several years later, you moved to the high school. At age 15, you had a front-row seat to my pimply adolescence and saw how advanced my sense of humor became.

    Around all of the fun we had, as well as going through the trials and tribulations of surviving high school while on the autism spectrum, you and I became family.

    I could just see how proud you were of me at graduation that spring day in 2010. You are the best teacher in Ohio, and I consider you my honorary mom.

    You’re the best, Mrs. Shuster! I couldn’t have made it through high school without you.

    • I think it’s safe to say we all have that one teacher who impacted our life. I know I have at least 3 teachers that made a difference in my education. Teachers like are are what make us want to keep pushing through. Thank you for sharing.

    • This touched me so much and I’m so glad you had a teacher that inspired you. Myself, I can’t even remember any of my teachers, whether they were great to me or not, I just can’t remember. Not sure if it’s because I’m at the age of 66, or there wasn’t one that touched me in a way that I would remember. Just as our parents, teachers are great role models in our lives, we need them, and it makes it even better when they make such an impression on us, that we remember them throughout our lives. Most teachers are the best. My daughter is a third grade teacher and she loves her job, and that’s what it’s all about. She was originally an attorney. One day she went for her teaching certificate, got out of the practice of law and have been teaching since. You have to love it to do it right. You story was a moving one. Good for you!
